MN Ag Group, Promoting Local Food Systems, Sues Feds Over Canceled Grant

Farm-linked organizations, including one from Minnesota, are ratcheting up legal pressure over canceled federal grants, saying projects designed to create a fair and sustainable food production system are being shortchanged.

The Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy is part of a newly filed lawsuit which argued the U.S. Department of Agriculture under the Trump administration unlawfully terminated a host of grants.
